Depersonalization - Diving into a TTRPG flavoured Lovecraftian Horror

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Depersonalization absolutely deserves to be played, but you may want to wait until the game is out of early access, which is expected to be around a year from now. Depersonalization is truly one of the strangest and most fascinating games I’ve played this year. It blends pen-and-paper RPG mechanics, anime aesthetics, the Lovecraft mythos, and Chinese philosophy all into a singular package. And that package may have some serious scuffs, but it’s still frankly incredible to behold.

Summary: Depersonalization is a COC-like RPG game. TRPG! Dice! Cthulhu! Bad End! Multi-branch! A different world is starting from zero! The game consists of multiple modules with multiple endings and branch routes, striving to build a diverse, themed world. Verdict: This game is alright, but it took me some time to understand. Other than that, it was slightly confusing at certain moments, but the Pixel art visuals were excellent, and some of the combat also took some time to get used to
